OSH Coordinator Course

According to Sect 29A OSHA 1994, an employer is to appoint one employee to act as an OSHC if he employs five or more employees at the workplace except military force, maid and shipping industries. The penalty for the contravention of the requirement to appoint an OSH Coordinator is a fine not exceeding RM 50,000.00 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or both. It is compulsory for all SME companies with more than 5 employees to have an OSH Coordinator, as it is essential for ensuring safety and well-being, providing adequate knowledge on safety measures to staff, strategizing company policies based on current situations, and highlighting the shared responsibility of both employers and employees in maintaining a safe and healthy workplace.
